Distribution and potential risk factors of bisphenol a in serum and urine among Chinese from 2004 to 2019
AI summary Read the abstract
This study consolidating Chinese biomonitoring data from 2004 to 2019 found that bisphenol A (BPA) exposure was widespread across the Chinese population, with males consistently showing higher serum and urine BPA levels than females, and exposure levels correlating with regional rates of garbage disposal, household sewage, and waste incineration.
Despite using a data consolidation approach, our study found that the Chinese population was exposed to significant amounts of BPA, and males having a higher level than females. Besides, the levels of BPA exposure are influenced by the volume of garbage disposal, household sewage, and waste incineration content.

Survey on the environmental risks of bisphenol A and its rele-vant regulations in Taiwan: An environmental endo-crine-disrupting chemical of increasing concern
AI summary Read the abstract
This review surveys the environmental distribution of bisphenol A (BPA) in Taiwan over the past decade and summarizes the government's regulatory strategies for managing its risks, given that over 700,000 tons of BPA are produced annually and BPA-based plastics are extensively used in Taiwan. BPA was included as a toxic substance by Taiwan's Ministry of Environment given its classification as an endocrine-disrupting chemical.

Urinary Level of Dimethoate, Bisphenol a and Benzo[a]pyrene in the First-year Students of Hohai University From Different Geographical Regions
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers measured urinary levels of three environmental chemicals—a pesticide (dimethoate), benzo[a]pyrene (a carcinogen), and bisphenol A (BPA, a plastic additive)—in university students from different regions of China. BPA was detected in the majority of students, confirming widespread human exposure to this plastic-derived endocrine disruptor.
